ceramic jar

Fired clay container

A ceramic jar is a container made from fired clay, typically with a wide mouth and used for storage.

Ceramic jars hold everything from kitchen staples to decorative arrangements: a ceramic jar of flour, cookie jar, apothecary jars on the bathroom shelf.

The term emphasizes the material rather than any specific shape or purpose.
